Stories take longer than expected sometimes, too. The calendar says we’re 10 days into the month, but we’re not seeing much of Mom’s April manuscript. The idea is still brownish and slime-ish, and wind and rain in Mom’s head are slowing down the progress. Her ears aren’t upside down or anything, but I’m hearing an awful lot of “Here we go.” and not an awful lot of, “Yay. I’m finished.”

I think the rain wetting the soil and the wind flying the seeds all around are putting down the groundwork for the real season.

This is definitely a sign of spring…

Like the rain and the wind, mind-writing and planning are putting down the groundwork for Mom’s story. The daffodils are starting to pop. I hope Mom’s story will pop soon, too.

We’re ok with Spring taking her time to show up ‘cos that hopefully meant that Autumn will take her time showing up here…but based on the way dada closes windows and doors every night we think Autumn may already arrived *sigh*

Cupcake I am sure with all the ground work mum will soon be blossoming and blooming 🙂 all the hard work helping her will surely pay off ….pee ess love that raincoat…makes me want to smooch you ;0 hugs Fozziemum xx

I see greenery and daffodils — don’t see any in my yard. Just green shoots. You look great in that rain coat. Since I don’t put clothes on Archie he’d think he was being bad. Archie is having surgery right now to remove a mole on his leg and a tooth pulled. He’s going to have to wear a cape/cone so he can’t bite his incisions. I put it on him two days ago and he tollerated it. Wanted to introduce it before he actually has to wear it. He just looked at me like “what did I do wrong?” Going to be a long 10 days of recovery until we can take off his cape.:) There is an advantage to your wearing dog outfits — you’re used to them.

OMGoodness, P. I hope Archie has a speedy recovery and doesn’t have to wear the cone of shame for too long. You are smart to let him get used to it a little. Whenever Mom dresses me, I think we are going out someplace fun.

Spring IS coming, Cupcake! We must believe! 🙂 Even though we still have patches of snow up here on Blueberry Hill along with our very brownish and slime-ish and barely greenish at all grass! Your mom’s story will come too. I know it. She is very clever and a talented writer. Take her for a good walk and show her something inspiring 🙂

We’ve been in the spring mode for too long, here in the Pacific Northwest. The frogs and birds are starting to sing their morning songs. The sound is inspirational. Maybe you need some of nature’s music? Love your raincoat, Cupcake! Do you have a pair of sunglasses for the summer?

Spring is definitely here in Western Washington. A lot of cherry blooms have already come and gone and the bulb flowers bloomed a couple of weeks ago. I am super glad….and we didn’t even have the terrible winter many parts of the country had.

We are so glad winter is over!!! I know how your mom feels.. somedays I have ideas galore for our blog.. other days… well…. I always wanted to be an author but can’t handle rejection and time is always an issue.. but someday…. keep up the great work, we love your blog and hope tog et into a regular visiting schedule again… the collies send their hugs!
